Councilman Glassburn Vice Chairman of the Environmental Control Committee: The Environmental Control Committee met on Tuesday, December 14, 2021 at 8:04 p.m. Present were committee members Hemann and Glassburn; Council members Brossard, Kelly and Limpert; Council President Jones, Director of Human Resources Gallo, Assistant Director of Law O'Malley, Wastewater Treatment Plant Superintendent Blum, Streets Foreman Demaline and guests. • Discussed was Resolution 2021-89. A Resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement with iWorQ Systems for a Work Order Management Program for Storm, Streets and Waste Water Treatment Plant operations, and declaring an emergency. Mr. Demaline said the program was used in the Service Department starting in 2017, was expanded to Waste Water Treatment Plant and was further expanded last year to work with the GIS system. This is to extend the contract through next year. Currently, about 35-40 employees use it. Mr. Blum said the program is advantageous as it lets them see other work down at the residents address and allows them to look up resident contact information, when they forget to provide it. He said there is a real time and cost savings built into the software. The committee voted 2-0 to recommend to Council. Mr. Limpert asked for a moment of personal privilege. I did not get a chance to say it during my reports, but I did want to make a quick mention since this might be our last physical meeting of the year. I just wanted to take a moment to thank outgoing Councilman Paul Schumann for his service to the City as a Councilperson. Paul cared deeply for the residents and really was the biggest advocate for the City as being a great place to live. He was always looking for ways to improve it while taking the philosophy it was great to live here and he was happy to serve the residents he cared so much about. 5
